Construction completed ahead of schedule, tollway says

November 05, 2010

The west end of the Edens Spur (Interstate Highway 94) is scheduled to reopen this weekend to two lanes in each direction between I-294 and the Waukegan Road interchange, the Illinois Tollway said Friday. That is nearly two weeks ahead of schedule.

Remaining work on the roadway and bridge rehabilitation project on the spur east of Waukegan Rd. to the Edens Expressway is scheduled to be complete by the end of the year. Traffic in this section will remain reduced to a single lane in each direction, the tollway said.

Work began in July to repair and resurface the spur's five miles of pavement and rehabilitate bridges.
